Should I use this or 3M tape to apply a ducktail spoiler to my car? Which will provide a better hold?

I would use screws, not tape or glue, to fasten a spoiler onto a car. At 60 mph I suspect that the aerodynamic forces could rip it off your vehicle and into someone else's car.

There is no difference. Both do the same job. I called 3M and they could not tell me the difference. The general purpose cleaner is effective for removing adhesive.

TapeBuddy tools will run Strait-Flex tape. The tool has two setting for apply compound thickness. When running Strait-Flex use the "more mud" setting. You'll have to measure the tape to cut it at the right length.I only use Strait-Flex on odd angle corners and not for normal corners. It's a lot more expensive and not necessary. The key using a TapeBuddy tool is the coating on the tape. This makes the tape hard with drywall and has no blisters.

Hi John. I highly doubt it would work. It's great for impact resistance but the adhesive isn't the most aggressive. It peels after a bit of use. I work with pressure sensitive adhesives for a living. 3M makes some great double sided adhesive strips that might work well.

If I were you, I would remove the duct tape and use just the interior transparent weather tape. The adhesive is comparable to duct tape, but the density of the weatherization tape is less permeable than duct tape and is going to do a better job keeping drafts of heat out. You may want to purchase a wide version of the 3m interior tape. I bought the 1inch so I could fit it at 90 degree angles at my windows edges and around a few drafty outlets.....

Hi,yes, it is a very sticky tape, I use it extensively on aftermarket turbo vehicles. It is generally used as a edging tape to the heat shield mat, they have the mat in the very same material. If you use the mat to cover the box, then use this tape to make a edging with it, it will be good. But you can also use the tape by itself, but will be expensive and not as insulate as mush as the mat. We are a modification shop, if you need more help and pictures, let me know. Aloha.

Purpose of the tape is prevent accidental sanding into your paint. Just use any tape you use for painting the house is fine. Or remove the headlight and do this restore off of the car.

This tape will definitely stick to and hold on FORD Motor Company vehicles. It's the same tape that's supplied with the VentVisors that I installed on my '95 Mercury Grand Marquis Restoration. They're stuck on there really well, and hold tightly in the desert heat. This exact same tape was used to install HELLA LEDayline 15 Daytime Running Lights on the Merc, as well -- and they're stuck on and holding tight after several mechanical car washes. I'll put it to ya this way, Chris -- I'll bet ya can't find any tape that will work BETTER !! ;>) Good Luck !!

Rafael, sorry we can't recommend this product for that application, while it may work I don't think if would be a good idea to rely on any tape to secure a loaded firearm in any vehicle.

I used 3m High Bond double sided tape and it has been on for a long time. No problems. Make sure you use the HB tape. It is a little expensive, but has a lot of uses. A good investment for the house or the car.

I have used the 3M weather stripping tape on ALL my windows and doors... I have a log house and the logs have settled, so I was looking for something that was not unsightly, but would do the job.... It worked well... If you are wanting to use it to hold up the aluminum it would work... So far no condensation... Good luck.

Adhesion is not as good as 3M quality. I'm used to 3M quality adhesion. If the surface is a shiny surface (adhesion hardly stay on the surface), I'd not recommend you to pick this up.

Should have gone with the 3M tape. This adhesive is not originally used in manufacturing. It's too thin, difficult to apply and the glass will touch the processor leaving a quite anoying bubble, like when you press on a computer monitor too hard. I've done the glass replacement twice now on the galaxy 3 and I strongly advise using the 3M tape instead.

I use this product (TB3550) to mount cameras to my motorcycle. I've not had any issues yet with the adhesive even at speeds of 170mph + (track). I'm not sure you'll find a better product from 3M for these types of applications.

Sure, velcro with automotive quality 3M tape will work. The unit doesn't weigh much

use 3m 5200 sealant. if you need it to set up faster then i would recommend 3m 4200. any marine store carries these.

It comes with good 3M double sided tape, bracket for mounting and zip ties. I did my Honda by cleaning the area really well with alcohol then I used the tape and some better quality zip ties. Its really not that hard once you get into there just find a good spot and figure out which is the best way for your specific car.
